The Frontier has always been a no-nonsense midsize truck, and the new 2025 Nissan Frontier has arrived with even some solid upgrades, more towing power, better tech, and a design that still means business. This years Frontier seems to be quite capable of hauling gear, hitting the trails, or works as a reliable workhorse.
Let’s take a look…
Powertrain
Under the hood, nothing changes, because, frankly, it didn’t need to. The 3.8-liter V6 still pumps out 310 horsepower & 281 lb.ft. of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission,. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, but if you need four-wheel drive, it’s there. The PRO-4X trim continues to be the go-to for adventure seekers, offering all-terrain tires, Bilstein shocks, and an electronic locking rear differential for extra grip when things get messy.
Towing
Nissan knows truck buyers want options, so they’ve made the 6-foot bed available on more trims this year. That means if you need the extra space but still want the off-road chops of the PRO-4X, you can finally have both. Speaking of capability, towing capacity now maxes out at 7,150 pounds, a noticeable bump over last year, making it easier to haul boats, trailers, or whatever else needs moving.
And for those who love off-roading, Nissan has improved its Intelligent Around View Monitor so it works at speeds up to 12 mph, making it easier to navigate rocky or uneven terrain.
Cabin
Inside, Nissan focused on making the Frontier more comfortable and user-friendly. A telescoping steering wheel is now standard, and upper trims get a power-adjustable passenger seat, a small but welcome touch. More importantly, the infotainment screen grows to 12.3 inches, and now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning no more fumbling with cords.
Other small but thoughtful changes? A sliding rear window, a handy sunglasses holder, and new 17-inch alloy wheels on the SV trim. It’s clear Nissan listened to real-world feedback on this one.
Safety
And let’s talk safety, because Nissan just made a whole suite of driver-assist features standard on every trim. You’re getting Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Intelligent Cruise Control right out of the gate. The SL trim even adds Traffic Sign Recognition, which could come in handy when road signs are hard to spot.

Pricing
Starting at $33,560, the 2025 Frontier is a solid choice for anyone who needs a truck that works as hard as they do. Whether you’re loading up for a job, towing on the weekends, or just want a pickup that can handle life’s rougher roads, this one’s ready when you are.
Conclusion
The 2025 Nissan Frontier doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, and that’s a good thing. Instead, it fine-tunes what already worked, giving you more towing capacity, smarter tech, and a little more comfort, all while keeping the rugged capability the Frontier is known for.
